River Empress-Castles Along the Rhine

World Luxury Cruise Vacations (WLCVacations) is a global business model approach to the luxury canal and river boat cruises that was initiated nearly a decade ago by the industry leader, France Cruises. The founders, Jean F. Dabrowski and Ana P. Valente, have traveled in ships throughout the world to bring tailored, in-depth research to their clientele. Since 2000, they have created and customized tours and cruises in Europe to meet the highest expectations of sophisticated world travelers. As a direct result of their success with France Cruises, they launched WLCVacations in 2008 to meet the rising desire of clients interested in experiencing the same impeccable service on the fascinating waterways of the world.

A corporation based in the United States, WLCVacations is bonded, insured, and is a proud member of the travel industry's top organizations: ASTA (American Society of Travel Agents), and CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association). WLCVacations operates under the industry-accepted guidelines and principles of good business practices.

Intriguing Destinations Just Got A Lot Closer:

When it comes to choosing the most highly-sought cruise destinations and luxuriously-appointed cruising vessels, WLCVacations engages in the same meticulous selection process as France Cruises. The result of such high standards is a fine collection of superior cruise ships from around the world. With destinations in the Americas, Antartica, Asia, Australia, Europe, and the South Pacific, WLCVacations is capable of providing a vast array of enjoyment for a broad range of seasoned travelers.

However, exotic and fascinating global locations is only half of what travelers can expect from WLCVacations.

Personal Attention: Customer Service The Way It Was Intended

To each customer, WLCVacations offers the same signature customer service that made France Cruises a leader in the industry. Travelers booking with WLCVacations are guaranteed a high level of personal attention throughout the entire booking process. Whether it is answering a simple cruise inquiry, or providing passengers with necessary documents, WLCVacations' staff is attentive to every detail that will make the travel experience truly unforgettable for its clients.

WLCVacations is aware that travelers have many options when it comes to selecting and organizing a vacation cruise. That is why its staff goes above and beyond traditional customer service for its clients, not only to ensure they experience a memorable luxury vacation, but to thank them for making WLCVacations their first choice in luxury small-ship cruising.

Command Your Vacation Destiny:

WLCVacations  has many years' experience welcoming groups. Whether you are a tour director, an incentive travel executive, an event professional, or the father of the bride, WLCVacations Groups & Charters is the way for your group to go!
